    Consequences never mattered anywhere else, real or hypothetical. Wherever they got mod powers, their sort got their way. AH, SV, SB, everywhere. Porn isn't some magical shield against that track record. And I disagree that this should be hidden in the rants thread. I consider this a most...

    They didn't like SB either, that's why they changed it to what it is now.

    Are there any measures in place to prevent SB mods or their groupies from gaining power here?

    The Music Thread

    A bit surprised nobody has posted this yet, but I am proud to present the new gold standard for game soundtracks: Lorien Testard- Une vie à t'aimer. It's one of many (and already the most infamous) song from the OST of Clair Obscur - Expedition 33. Below is the official song, but I'm of the...

    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    No, 'we' did none of that. Some asshole in the public spaces authority or whatever it's called ordered that done, because he decided it was the best way to comply with the mayor office's 'make the city look less like a third world country' directive. This idea that we should take blame for...

    I very much appreciate this update.

    I just said why. If you really care to learn more, see the stupid shit on SB thread.

    Nothing beyond the gold standard Lord of the Rings. Most of the stuff I learned that I consider useful doesn't originate in academia, or books more generally. I did like The Three Musketeers novel though.

    For SV is different, I agreed with a quest character once that she should've suffered the full consequences for treason. For this, a mod gave me a 'don't be hateful' infraction, which arose such disgust with their moderation within me that I told them to stick it, knowing they'd ban me. It was...

    Web novel sites have no problem with me though, afaik. SB and SV are discussion boards with subforums for stories, but it's not the same thing.

    I suspect it's the mods slandering me as a writer of CP (that was their bogus reason for my ban) for the high crime of poking holes into one of their rule changes one time. If you believe there's any logic to their actions at all, anyway. What, people talk about me there? Color me shocked.

    Why are you bringing other settings into this? I only said DxD is a horror setting and not seeing that acknowledged is the hated fanfic trope I chose to mention in the hated fanfic tropes thread. What other settings are like is completely irrelevant.

    I'm not asking for character existential spirals (at least not interminable ones), I'd enjoy seeing authors treat the setting appropriately.
